Recently, several contractors paid nearly $10 million to settle allegations of bodily injury and property damage from mold contamination in a client's residence. When a contractor's work disturbs an existing pollution condition, the contractor is held liable for resulting damages. Mold is just one of the countless types of unforeseen pollution that general contractors can uncover. Most contractors don't realize that even if they don't work with hazardous chemicals, they still face pollution liability risks.
Many are also unaware that these types of risks are typically not covered by general liability.
Contractors need a tailored policy in place to safeguard against losses caused by hidden pollution conditions. I have access to policies that address the risks that contractors face every day. Give me a call and let's discuss your individual situation TODAY!
